this country with respect to gun control. >> and -- >> totally agree with that. >> go ahead. >> the nra counts on shows like this show eventually using interest. you see -- shows like this have a major responsibility to focus on the carnage that occurs on our streets. look what's happening with the kids in chicago. >> one thing to keep in mind is that this conversation isn't going away because, you know, the president formed a task force. vice president biden is in charge of that task force. they've been given a deadline of january to present ideas to the president. the president gives his state of the union address in early february. and then it's off to the races and trying to get something done. so the idea that the president isn't going to push hard on doing something about gun safety, gun control, however you want to talk about it i think is a little bit ludicrous. julian and james, thanks very much. >> thank you. >> happy new year. >> stay with us. much more ahead. >> many new year. >> happy new year. in this country we say happy new year. >> ha, ha, ha, ha! safety, gun control, h

nra is not what this is. it is nothing but a business lobby of gun manufacturers who make things that kill our children. excellent point. that's who the nra represents today. they don't represent gun owners or hunters in this country, they represent the big gun manufacturers. excellent point glen. dan, you've been following -- >> we're on twitter and facebook. facebook.com/billpressshow and on twitter at bpshow. we're talking about what -- the president not taking action until now. gayle says one can only fight so many battles at a time. this one was not feasible until now. it wasn't as if the president didn't have a lot of issues on his plate. cut him some slack. >> bill: it has been two years since tucson. fourth time when he said it in newtown, connecticut. out as the mourner in chief. my point is we know what's causing this violence. we know what's got to be done so let's just get busy and do it. >> announcer: this is the "bill press show." mmmm.
